Piston
Piston Pins
Teflon Plug
Starting with the piston, we will look at the changes for the
3176B. The piston pin has been increased in length and the
retaining rings used on the previous model are no longer used.
Teflon plugs in the ends of the piston pin ride on the cylinder
wall. The slight mark left on the wall of the cylinder by these
plugs is normal and causes no problems in operation. If
replacement is necessary, the plugs can be removed with a
screwdriver.

Piston Ring Pack
The piston ring pack has changed. A sharper bottom edge and
increased edge contact on the top and intermediate ring results
in lower emissions and better oil control. The top ring is still
plasma coated. The oil ring is the same as in previous 3176
engines.

The valve bridge no longer has a dowel pin. Since the bridge
now floats between the two valve stems, no adjustment is
required.

At the other end of the valve and injector train, the rocker shaft
has increased in size. This requires the use of new injector
rockers, valve rockers, and rocker stand.

Fill Port removed
New priming procedure
LERV0372
However, the removal of the fill port requires the use of a new
priming procedure. To prime the low pressure system open the
air bleed on the siphon block. Hand prime the pump to remove
the air. Close the air bleed. hand prime the pump until the
valve opens. When this happens, an audible click will be heard
from the valve. Tighten the priming pump handle. The engine is
now primed and can be started.

A new liner band seal is used for the mid supported cylinder
liner with high ring travel cooling. Rectangular seals are used
to seal both the coolant and the oil. A rectangular seal, located
in the spacer block, seats against the large outside diameter of
the liner directly above the liner seat to seal coolant in the
spacer block. A smaller d-shaped seal, located below the liner
seat, seals the oil from seeping between the liner and block.
